For severe D3 deficiency, see a general physician or endocrinologist. They will initiate high dose vitamin D weekly and maintenance therapy later.

In 2014 I had joint pain and doctor after seeing blood report said I have vitamin D problem. Treatment was done for 6 months. Later I was fine. Again now from one week my joints are paining and have swelling in ankle and feet which stays the whole day and increases in evening. Which doctor I need to consult?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have an avulsion fracture that has not healed even after 7 weeks in plaster. I recently did blood tests, which showed low vitamin D levels. I have started taking vitamin D tablets.

My Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy (ECILA) test report shows 7.0 ng/ml. Deficient: less than or equal to 20, Insufficiency: 20 to 29, Desirable: greater than or equal to 30 to 100, Toxicity: greater than 100. Am I vitamin D deficient? Could this cause complications in my pregnancy? I am 6 weeks pregnant and got my test done yesterday. Please help, I am very worried. Thank you.
